Friends of NEMBA and Kingdom Trails – Vote for Bell Helmet’s Grant to build a Flow Trial on Burke Mountain

Hello Kingdom Trails’ Friend

If you haven’t done so already, please help us in our attempt to receive a grant from Bell Helmets to build a Flow Trail on Burke Mountain. We hope to construct a progressive skills park with features and fun for everyone. Kingdom Trails is about tourism and bringing a much needed boost to the local economy. This helps not only mountain bikers but also an entire Vermont community, and while bikers and hikers will be the beneficiaries in the short term, it’s the surrounding communities that stand to benefit the greatest as Kingdom Trails continues to be a world class trail destination in the Northeast Kingdom.

UCR Teams up with Pedals Bike Shop

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (www.ucr.edu) — Romanie Arterberry saw that students at the University of California, Riverside had a bike problem. More specifically, they had a problem when their bike broke down or suffered a flat tire, because the nearest bike shop – Pedals Bicycle Shop in downtown Riverside – was almost five miles away.
